Trying to put your coat or a sweater on can become a strategic planning session of what arm to put in first. Many will agree, if you are sitting in the front seat of your car, shoulder pain will make you think twice before reaching into the backseat to grab your briefcase. Usually the last straw for our patients is sleep deprivation. People are often surprised and alarmed to realize how much their shoulder contributes to a comfort- able sleep at night. People can experience shoulder pain for many reasons, and similarly can loose function of their shoulder as a result of many causes. Eramosa Physiotherapy Associates continues to strive to be leaders when it comes to shoulder pain. One of the most common reasons for shoulder pain is tendonitis, specifically rotator cuff tendonitis. The rotator cuff of the shoulder is made up of four muscles that act as the control and stability center in the shoulder. If the four muscles are successfully working together there will be a balance of positioning and strength that aims at keeping the shoulder moving fluidly and without any catches. The goal of keeping your shoulder moving pain free is reliant of several key factors. Neck and shoulder postures are extremely important to establish a solid foundation for the rotator cuff to pull from. If we think of the muscles like an elastic band, it would very difficult for the elastic band to generate tension if one end doesnt stay stable and in the appropriate position. The shoulder blade is the foundation for the rotator cuff, and the shoulder blade is strongly influenced by neck posture. Ensuring that you minimize rounding shoulders and chin poking forward postures will provide the necessary foundation for your rotator cuff. Next we need to realize that there are changes to the rotator cuff that occur as a process of aging. This doesnt mean that the over 30 club should stop trying to lift their arm, but it does mean that we need to be aware of the physical demands that we are requiring of our shoulder. If you are working in a job that requires constant elevation of your arm, or working at shoulder height and even mousing on a computer, the shoulder is depending heavily on the rotator cuff strength to control its position. Any weakness can predispose you to injury. Physiotherapists are skilled at assessing the biomechanics of the shoulder joint, the function of the rotator cuff and establishing, if necessary, a specific exercise program to address and strengthen deficits. So if you are still rubbing your arm after a day of the computer, working or throwing ball it is time to take control of your shoulder rather than having your shoulder control your life.

The three restaurants, part of the Cara chain, are taking part in Tap Project during World Water Week. The campaign celebrates the clean and accessible tap water available as an everyday privilege to millions, while helping UNICEF provide safe drinking water to children around the world. Beginning this Saturday (March 22) through the following Saturday (March 29) customers will be invited to donate $1 or more for the tap water they would normally get for free. For every dollar raised, a child will have clean drinking water for 40 days. By 2015, UNICEFs goal is to reduce the number of people without safe water and basic sanitation by 50 per cent. Local restaurants taking part in UNICEF Tap Project Montessori students hop to it As part of the Brampton-Georgetown Montessori School's recent Hop for Muscular Dystrophy, students like Audrey Vieyra, 5, (above) Dominic Srebernjaic, 4, (right) and Evan Reid, 2, (far right) had their little bunny rest before taking part in the hop, during the event at the school at 8 James Street. The school raised $2,182 through the activity. Photos by Ted Brown
